Her hair is Harlow gold,Her lips sweet surpriseHer hands are never coldShe's got Bette Davis eyesShe'll turn her music onYou won't have to think twiceShe's pure as New York snowShe got Bette Davis eyes

And she'll tease youShe'll unease youAll the better just to please youShe's precociousAnd she knows just what itTakes to make a pro blushShe got Greta Garbo Stand off sighs,She's got Bette Davis eyes

She'll let you take her homeIt whets her appetiteShe'll lay you on her throneShe got Bette Davis eyesShe'll take a tumble on youRoll you like you were diceUntil you come out blueShe's got Bette Davis eyes

She'll expose youWhen she snows youOff your feet with the crumbs she throws youShe's ferociousAnd she knows just what it Takes to make a pro blushAll the boys Think she's a spy,She's got Bette Davis eyes

And she'll tease youShe'll unease youAll the better just to please youShe's precociousAnd she knows just what it Takes to make a pro blushAll the boys Think she's a spy,She's got Bette Davis eyes

there ia a "teachable" moment.. I did conceive of all kinds of fictitious literary explanations as to the absence.. and then when I heard the truth it was as though I was the victim ... when it might not be that way at all.

I'm not gates meade.. at all

Im sorry .. I was kind of ready you know to celebrate so I jumped the gun when nobody said anything.

Like Stars In My Hands, Daggers In My Heart, Wage War_Together. As if in silent prayer.And whenever I looked out, you were there.Love flowed from our hearts.How could we ever,Stand to be apart?Don't throw your faith in others away,Because we have ended this way.Don't ever think I don't care about you,What you've always know is true.It always seems sad, things have to change.Like our feelings, let's not look for blame.Don't throw your faith in others away,Because we have ended this way.Don't ever think I don't care about you,What you've always known is true.After all is said and done, I am the sorry one.Why must we hurt the people we love?It's like my destiny falls on me from above.I love you but I can't hang on anymore.I love you but I can't stay anymore

So how come Althouse never blogged about how a Boston cop called Prof. Gates a "banana-eating jungle monkey"?

Oh, it wasn't Crowley. Crowley merely arrested an innocent man at his own house even though he didn't violate a single law.

No, it was one of his colleages. I guess Gates should feel relieved he only got falsely arrested and didn't have to deal with the officer who calls black people "banana-eating jungle monkeys". If he had had a run0in with THAT cop he might be dead right now. Instead he was merely falsely arrested. I guess he should breath a sigh of relief.

Colorado mountain high at the continental divide of life, an inch this way or that way makes all the difference. We wish you two all the best life has to offer on your way together back to the ocean/beach where all life begins.

So how come Althouse never blogged about how a Boston cop called Prof. Gates a "banana-eating jungle monkey"?

So how come you haven't suggested it to her? You know she has repeatedly begged us to explain to her what she needs to post on her own blog. Especially since it's not like you could get your own blog and post about things you think should be posted about, or anything.

Aha! It looks like my mention of Rocky Mountain National Park was on target! After I wrote that comment, I went back and looked for those posts, and was alarmed to discover that it was 4 years ago, in August 2005. Yikes! Where has the time gone?

Great place to be for a special moment. I stood where Ann was a few years back...as a sights gawker and rockhound ready to rip some great fossils free of the past...not to get hitched again.

Enjoy your time, Meade & Anne. The last two weeks seem to have been a well-planned prologue...a circuitous journey around America to a true "destination".

Oaf - If you think that it is important enough to start your own Blog, start your own Blog!Or write Althouse an email on that or 200 news items each day she DOESN'T post on. That you think she should.

PS - the dummy who wrote the email did not say Gates was a "banana-eating jungle monkey" . He killed his career by saying Gates was ACTING LIKE...(like!) a banana-eating jungle monkey ...when arrested.Cops have to understand that blacks are hypersensitive to references to apes, monkeys, jungle..And transgressing that is a career-killer.In the 90s, another cop lost his job simply by characterizing a confrontation between two very large, angry black men - circling one another, roaring, actually thumping their chests, snarling...in a most honest, but most unfortunate way to a reporter.

"We were called about a disturbance. When we arrived, I swear, what we saw was a scene right out of 'Gorillas In The Mist".

I can't let that picture of Colorado go uncommented upon. I will be fairly close to there a week from today, and was through there 2 1/2 weeks ago.

Growing up, we went to camp every summer near Estes Park, and hiked and rode in the park. They still hike there, but it is more crowded and there are more limitations. And riding into the park is much harder - mostly I think because some of the open spaces in Estes Park have filled in over the last 40 years.

On that recent trip, we started in Dillon, drove down the Blue to Kremling, then up the Colorado to Grand Lake, and over Trail Ridge into Estes. We found a great place in Grand Lake for lunch, with some of the best chili cheese fries ever. Despite having been over Trail Ridge dozens and dozens of times over the last 50 years, I still stopped at a lot of the overlooks, and took as many photos as those driving it the first time do.

I was also able to point to the lake across the valley where my father and 3 of us boys got lost hiking into the lake some 40+ years ago. And, of course, the family namesake, Hayden Spire.

"So how come Althouse never blogged about how a Boston cop called Prof. Gates a "banana-eating jungle monkey"?... No, it was one of his colleages."

Colleagues? How so? I didn't see any connection of any significance. Who was that guy? There's always someone writing garbage somewhere. Yes, it's bad, but it's not news worthy of commentary and it was no reflection on Crowley.
